Matilda GRANT married Aaron CHEUVRONT.
They had the following children:
M i Isaac CHEUVRONT was born 1802 and died 1896.
John CHILDERS died 1840. He married Margaret YERKEY.
Notes for John Childers:
Harrison County Marriage Bonds, Vol 1, p 429
Deed about 11/1/1835 shows both John and Margaret, so they would be parents of children born between 1801 and 1835
Another deed shows John Childers purchased property on Isaacs Creek from Jacob and Nancy Bennet (Harrison Co Deeds, Vol 13, pg 306). There is no record of property transferred by John until the Estate Settlement when property was deeded to William B Childers on 11/27/1852 (Harrison Co Deeds, Vol 39, page 160) by people who appear to be the children of John and Margaret
Wither's Chronicles of Border Warfare, pp. 117 & 118 tells the story of the desertion of William Childers, John & Samuel Pringle and Joseph Linsey. (Don't know if John was son or other relative of William, but the locations fit). "In 1761, these four men deserted from the fort, and ascended the Monogahela as far as the mouth to Geoge's Creek . . . Here they remained a while, but not liking the situatation crossed over the head of the Youghogany; and encamping in the glades, continued there about twelve months. . . . While among the inhabitants on Loony's Creek, they were recognized and some of the party apprehended as deserters" (probably Childers). John & Samuel Pringle escaped and lived near what is now Buchannon for several years. In the fall of 1768 many others came to this area such as John Jackson with sons George & Edward; John Hacker where Bush's Fort was later established; Alexander & Thomas Sleeth; others who were with the party but who did not make a permanent settlement were William Hacker, Thomas & Jesse Hughes, John & William Radcliff & John Brown.

From Glen Guyer:
The History of Ritchie County WV, lists the name of "Squire" as being one ofthe children of William Dotson, Sr. It is assumed that this is in error. No detailed history is given of any person named Squire Dotson and it is probably true that Squire Dotson and John Dotson are one and the same person. John Dotson was called "Squire Dotson" by those who knew him. He was a Justice of the Peace and a man of local prominence, holding court in his farm-yard when cases came before him. Mary S. Miller Dotson, daughterof John Dotson, says her father was always called Squire Dotson.
From Rev Lucas book pp 1177 & 1178) "John (called Squire) Dotson - md. Suzan Sears. It is said that Squire Dotson weighed only 3 pounds at birth, but grew into a man over six feet tall and weighing over 300 pounds. When he was about 30 years old he cut his knee with an axe which never healed and kept him under medical care for over 30 years until 1861 he had his leg amputated by Drs. Ramsey and Campbell of Parkersburg, WV.
On 22 Sept 1848, Squire purchased 1000 acres of land from the heirs of Michael Gratz, located near Arnolds Creek and Central Station in Doddridge Co. The land was granted to Michael Gratz in 1786, and John Dotson was the second owner. After his store operator absconded with a considerable amount of money, John was forced to sell this farm to pay outstanding bills. He bought a smaller farm northeaster of Harrisville in Ritchie Co. and moved his family there in 1860. There he lived until his death in 1880. A son-in-law, Henry P. Miller tried to work the farm for a few more years, but it was an unprofitable farm and he gave it up and moved his family and his aging mother-in-law to Nebraska in 1882.
The date of John's first marriage to Susan Sears is not known. He married his second wife, Mahalah Myers (b. 30 April 1809, Carmichael Town, PA; d. 7 July 1884, Blair, NE) in the early 1840's."
From Minnie Kendall Lowther's history of Ritchie County:
"John Dotson m. Miss Susan Sears, (Sayre) sister of Hannah Sears Dotson (wife of Emanuel), for his first wife; and his second was Miss Mahala Myers. He, too, settled across the Doddridge County line, but removed to the Harrisville vicinity in the ante-bellum days, and there he rests. His children: Oliver, Lloyd, Mrs. Minerva Stinespring; Mrs. Cindona (Daniel) Malone; Clinton, Leeman; (John) Noble; and Rufus Dotson." Her later revised version shows Cindona, Mrs. Daniel Malone and adds Mary S.
